Return to yourself
Are you ready to surrender to a deep reset? This intimate retreat in a beautiful natural environment invites you to slow down, soften, and reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom. This isn’t about escaping life—it’s about meeting it from a different perspective.
The retreat is thoughtfully sequenced to regulate your nervous system, quiet your mind, and awaken your energy. Give yourself just a few days, and you might be amazed at what shifts inside and around you.
Our program
We offer a program designed to balance the nervous system and support self-inquiry and growth. The Deep Reset Retreat unfolds through a progressive journey of daily themes, each one building upon the last. In the first few days, you’ll be guided inward—connecting to your current reality through grounding and listening. As the week evolves, the focus gradually turns outward, inviting contained expansion, authentic expression, and the joy of being.
Grounding yoga
Start each day with a harmonious
blend of gentle breathwork, hatha yoga, and slow vinyasa yoga. These practices are crafted to soften and energize your body, clarify your mind, and cultivate inner strength, setting a grounding tone for the day ahead.
Workshops
Daily workshops gently weave together yoga, voicework, guided meditations, journaling, and somatic practices. Each session offers space for reflection, softening, and inner transformation. You’ll explore new perspectives and gain insights that stay with you long after the retreat ends.
Nature immersion
Step outside and immerse yourself in the breathtaking hills of the Sierra de Almijara. While practicing yoga under the trees, a silent nature walk by yourself, a refreshing river dip, or simply taking in the vibrations of nature, these moments will help you feel more connected and alive.
Silence
Moments of silence and stillness—whether in meditation, reflection, or nature—allow for deep rest, heightened awareness, a reset of the nervous system. What may seem challenging at first often reveals unexpected depth and clarity.
Human Connection
Meet like-minded souls from all walks of life, each arriving with their own intention. Through sharing circles, heartfelt conversations, and nourishing meals together, we create a space of trust, laughter, and deep connection—a space where you can simply be yourself.
Nourishment
Savor delicious, organic meals inspired by kitchens from all over the world, prepared with love and care, nourishing your body and fueling your journey. Learn to embrace health through wholesome food and intentional living, with plenty of time for self-care and relaxation.
